Then again, there's a perception with many Thais that farang are wealthier, which us falang know is not the case. Also, unlike in the west, farang do not enjoy equality with the natives. (It's a shame we can't play the race-card in Thailand, as also happens in the west, what I call inverted-racism). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
